About this Retreat
Your Guides
Brigitte is a Brooklyn-based yoga instructor, artist, and retreat leader with a passion for deep, transformative experiences. Her journey with yoga began at 15 in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and has since evolved into an immersive practice that blends movement, breathwork, and meditation with creative expression and philosophy.
Her formal training includes a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Raja Yoga in Philadelphia and a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rishikesh Yogkulam in India, where she studied Anatomy, Physiology, Yoga Philosophy, Sanskrit, Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Meditation, Restorative Asanas, Yoga Therapy, and Marma Points. She also studied meditation at the Himalayan Institute, deepening her understanding of breathwork, mindfulness, and the science of stillness.
Brigitte’s teaching journey has taken her around the world—leading classes and retreats in Colombia, Bali, Italy, Turkey, and beyond. She first began teaching in 2014 after earning her certification and went on to lead large group classes at Temple University in Philadelphia, where she also co-founded a mindfulness meditation program at the Independence Blue Cross Recreation Center. Over five years, she guided hundreds of students through practices that encouraged presence, self-awareness, and resilience.
Now, as the founder of BK Honest Yoga, Brigitte teaches in Brooklyn and leads immersive retreats in breathtaking locations. Her approach is deeply personal, raw, and rooted in the belief that yoga is more than movement—it is a pathway to self-discovery. Whether guiding students through dynamic asana, breathwork, or silent meditation, she creates a space where transformation feels both accessible and inevitable.
Details of this retreat
Have you forgotten what it feels like to be fully alive? This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise of daily life and into a world of deep movement, stillness, and self-discovery—where you’ll push your body, quiet your mind, and awaken your creative spirit. Set in the lush Colombian mountains, surrounded by coffee farms and the sounds of nature, this six-day journey will challenge, restore, and reconnect you to the limitless potential of who you truly are.
This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a gathering of souls, a place where you are seen, heard, and deeply valued. It’s not some polished, impersonal experience where you sign up, show up, and blend into the background. This is raw, real, and alive—shaped by who you are, what you bring, and the energy we all create together. Every retreat is different because every person who comes is different. Here, you’re not just a guest; you’re part of something intimate and intentional, a chosen family for six days of movement, silence, and self-discovery. You will leave changed—not just because of what you experience, but because of what you offer, too.

Directions
I will personally arrange your transportation from the airport or Medellín to our retreat location. The airport is about 2 to 3 hours from the farm, and I can coordinate a group pickup if you arrive between 12 PM and 3 PM on April 13th. The cost for a private ride is approximately $120 for up to 4 people.
If you’d like to spend time in Medellín before or after the retreat, I can also arrange a pickup from El Poblado Park, with costs ranging from $30-$50 per person if shared, or $80 for a private ride.
For seasoned travelers, there’s also a budget-friendly option: a bus from Medellín to Fredonia (~$10), followed by a jeep ride to the farm (~$10).
No need to stress—I’ve done this trip countless times in every way possible, and I’ll guide you through it step by step.

Perched in the hills of Fredonia, Hacienda Campoamor offers breathtaking views of the Cauca River Canyon and the distant Citará cliffs. Nestled in the heart of a working coffee farm, it’s a peaceful retreat where you can wake up to birdsong, wander lush landscapes, and watch the sunset from the deck or by the pool. The air is warm, the nights are quiet, and the land carries the rich traditions of Colombia’s UNESCO-recognized coffee region.
